KERNOW EDUCATION ARTS PARTNERSHIP

KEAP is a strategic leader in arts and creative education in Cornwall. In 2017 we opened The Writers' Block based in Redruth, where we champion the writer in everyone.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 21 years
